The case against Ta’ Maksar brothers Adrian and Robert Agius and two of their associates refocuses on their alleged role in the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia when the case resumes on Wednesday morning.
Prosecutors will summon witnesses to that 2017 murder, one day after a court heard from an eyewitness in the 2015 murder of lawyer Carmel Chircop.
The two Agius brothers, Jamie Vella and George Degiorgio face charges related to both those murders.
Robert Agius and Vella stand accused of supplying the bomb used to blow up Caruana Galizia. Degiorgio is being charged in separate proceedings with having committed that murder together with two others.
A neighbour of Carmel Chircop has described how he found the lawyer lying dead in his garage doorway with two gun shots in his body.
Augustine Grixti said that Chircop s hand was cold to the touch but still moveable.
Grixti was testifying in the the compilation of evidence against four men linked to the murders of Chircop in October 8, 2015 and journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia two years later.
Adrian Agius is accused of commissioning Chircop s murder while George Degiorgio and Jamie Vella are charged with carrying out the hit. They deny the charges.
The witness was passing by the garage complex on John Borg Street, Birkirkara at around 6.55am when he met a friend, who told him they had heard four shots.
